Review of Classical Diffusion-Limited Regression Rate Models in Hybrid Rockets

In this article, we undertake a concise review of several milestone developments in classical regression rate models of hybrid rocket motors. After a brief description of the physical processes entailed in hybrid rocket combustion, Marxman’s diffusion-limited theory is re-constructed and d...
